When Bucky McMillan became the new A$M basketball coach.....it was reported that the Aggies next year, have $7 million just for basketball. If they paid every scholarship player equally (and they probably don't)....that would be over $500k, per player.

Keep thinking we can stay in the NIL game. We can't. 

We can’t, nor should we try.  The G5 needs to break away and start the NCAAA(National Amateur Athletic Association), under new tv contracts with its own 16-32 team playoff in football, similar Dance in basketball etc. Or, NT needs to drop to FCS and dominate in football and attempt to hang on to compete in D1 basketball.  One of the two?

 

@flyonthewall Thank you for all you did, and still do.

It’s very sad when we watch our very best fans have to walk away from this mess created by NIL.  I am very appreciative of all your contributions @flyonthewall

Quitting or breaking away is silly.  We (G5) collectively have been able to compete when given opportunities and the really big bad apples have been cheating at this since the beginning.  NIL itself is not going to kill us.  It doesn’t really change anything.  What we need is a limit to the unlimited free transfers.  Or contracts.  Just some way to maintain continuity from year to year so we can build a team and a fanbase.  

Even if we can’t get a solution there, we have positioned ourself to be in the top quarter of all D1 schools, high enough up the food chain that we can do exactly what the bigger boys do to us: raid the schools just below us on the ladder.

Agree.  We will be fine.  We have always played programs that had "more" and deemed "above us" throughout our sports history....and we look forward to those games! 

But I would never be for dropping down to FCS or breaking away voluntarily.   1-AA was awful.  They get no respect (or media) and still have NIL issues in those divisions too.  No thanks!
